Sign of the times

I happened to be taking a whiz in the men's room today and noticed some scribbling on the wall.

"For BJ ... XXXXX@yahoo.com"

Funny how, not that long ago, the preferred medium for such hook-ups was a telephone. Now we see ourselves in a state of transition - those who are analogue, offering up phone numbers, and those that are digital, who want to hook up through an anonymous email address.

I suppose a hundred years ago, it might have said "For good time, telegraph Joe ...."
